4/19 CUBS (Hammel) @ cards (Garcia) 7:15 CSN+/MLBN

That was such a bad hanging slider that I think Warren got Piscotty to black out for a second there

i'm not saying it wasn't, but does he throw a 93 mph slider? If so, then the velocity and location were probably enough the coax the swing and miss.

I just assumed it was a hanging slider based on where the pitch was but if that was the velo then if was his FB

[Omar]

robot umps

For the love of god let this happen before 2030

[rocket]

you sure that's a ball

[weis21]

outside corner back up in business! (mlb.tv delay)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

still no pitches in the zone

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Molina borderline shocked that the pitch 15 inches outside called a ball

[bcl412]

I'm convinced all these balls will now be called

preferably by the time contreras and schwarber are ready to catch for us

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Well, at least with the balls, we've established that 2 feet is too far outside for a strike call.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Rizzo with the 7-ball walk

yeah, i'm pretty sure it was an elevated fastball. that's the speed that was shown on the CSN pitchtrax

georgie dong incoming

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that's the sound of the wave

If MLB is progressive enough to enact robot umps I'm guessing they will be progressive enough to have the NL DH, so the Schwarber problem should be solved.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

in case it wasn't clear, they must be punished for this

[Transmogrified Tiger]

because it's the 8th inning of a 1 run game against the rivals that you're chasing in the standings

also never the wave, not even once

[Bull]

The noise on your broadcast is not great interest in the game by the BFIB. It's the stupid wave.

i always forget about TT's get off my lawn streak

Soler in suck mode tonight

[TruffleShuffle]

what's with the random noise? are they doing the horsefeathering wave late in a close ballgame against their top rival?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Bad Georgie.

yes

[UMFan83]

Other than the walk, a pretty poor game overall from Soler. I want so badly for him to be awesome.
